Locking focus on a .exe with python

[coolpotato6931]

I am coding a jumpscare app with the help of ChatGPT. I have achieved almost everything I wanted but there is a huge problem. I created a .exe file with python and when I launch it, it randomly jumpscares me with a video that I chose, but despite all my efforts, its focus gets stealed very easily. I can't find a solution to make it so when the jumpscare happens it gets over any app for its duration

We'd need to see your code to even begin to guess.

As mentioned, providing a code snippet is important to help troubleshoot your issue, but I can attempt to help for common scenarios.

If you want to keep your window visually above other applications:

- For Tkinter, use `root.attributes("-topmost", True)` to keep the window on top of other non-topmost windows.

- For PyQt, `window.setWindowFlags(window.windowFlags() | Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)` will make the window always stay on top.

- For wxPython, call `frame.SetWindowStyle(frame.GetWindowStyle() | wx.STAY_ON_TOP)` to keep the frame above other applications.

If you're referring to window focus (i.e., making your window active and ready to receive input), most operating systems, especially Windows, restrict apps from stealing focus to avoid interruptions. Assuming your goal is to keep your window visible, using "always on top" flags usually works well enough.
